Maybe my question is stupid but… I can play my game in Corona simulator in Windows. The game runs fast (60 fps), smooth and works correctly.
So, why Corona SDK can’t compile my game as standalone application for Windows or Apple?

Because Corona SDK is a Lua -> ARM compiler, basically. The Sim is built just to emulate the processor, not provide a smooth windows experience. (It also doesn’t support peripherals)
OSX/WIN8 support is in the plans last I heard but since it requires a lot of changes under the hood, it may be awhile. (I would love to have standalone OSX support today, but obviously I think time is better spent on current issues instead) [import]uid: 41884 topic_id: 34926 reply_id: 138800[/import]
This is LUA too:

and apps works for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X:

I think it’s some kind of “emulation” (copy /b love.exe+game.love game.exe) but it works and this is a valuable feature.

Yes, but keep in mind it works really different compared to Corona; they have completely different core libraries (ie: display.*) and a different method for rendering to screen. [import]uid: 41884 topic_id: 34926 reply_id: 139047[/import]
